 SUNDAY:  I got plenty of sleep last night because I went to bed earlier than usual since I skipped my Saturday nap and also getting an extra hour due to pushing the clocks back an hour.  I was getting ready for church when Peggy called to remind me that I had a small batch of cookies in my freezer that I agreed to take to the reception for Nina Leong after church.  I took it out of the freezer right away.  When I got to church first I dropped off one of my Operation Christmas Child boxes and then I took the cookies  downstairs to the room where the reception was going to be held, and I asked Peg if she needed any help.  She suggested that I come down right after church and maybe I could help.  When I got into the sanctuary, I encouraged several people (Glenda, Carol, Maggie, Catherine, Marlene and I think a couple of others) to come to the reception.  Church was very good.  Marlene's daughter, Christiana, surprised her by arriving a couple of minutes before the service began.  Mar

 SUNDAY the 27th:   Before going to church, I went to the First Presbyterian Church for the Deacon's Basket Raffle.  I only saw a couple of items that I could use or that I liked but I purchased twenty dollars worth of tickets anyways.  Church was good.  After church, Glenda, Marlene and I went to APPLEBEE's for lunch.  I had a burger and fries, which came with a huge salad.  It was very good.  I took half of the salad home.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  In the early evening, I figured out how to add contacts to my new phone and texted Pam, just to make sure I know how to use that feature.  I worked on my flickr account and I started watching THE MARLOW MURDER CLUB on PBS.  MONDAY:  I went to my eye appointment with Dr. Fetterman.  It went well, no problems and no issues with glaucoma or retinal detachment.  New prescription with slight changes.  Then I went to the Y to meet up with Pam.  She tried to reach me by phone because she could not make it because her daughter

 SUNDAY the 20th:    First thing after getting up, I threw together the ingredients for custard and put it in the oven.  It was in the frig before I left for church.  Church was great.  We honored Pastor Craig with a video and a huge card which was available for all of us to sign, because October is PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH.  Betty did not come to church so Donna took her seat.  After church, I came home and had a very light lunch.  Then I took a nap.  Shortly after I woke up, I headed over to Peggy and David's house with red velvet cookies and baked custard and cheesy muffins.   David had prepared roast chicken, stuffing and gravy.  Peggy had prepared acorn squash. Everything was very good.  After supper, we watched the first episode of the series 24 and then two episodes of TINY HOUSE.  Then I headed home, (with leftovers) arriving about 7:30.  Mike had left a message asking if I was planning on going to Mr. Bil's Bible study tomorrow night.  He said he would skip his coin c

 SUNDAY:  Church was VERY good this morning.  I was trying to save seats for Elizabeth and Marlene, but Elizabeth did not come to church and Marlene was late and someone else took the spot I was saving. There was a bake sale put on by the youth in the lobby after church, but the lines were long and it was so crowded that I didn't even really look at what was offered.  After church, Marlene, Sue Rouse, Glenda and I went to LaPort's for lunch.  We all had the turkey dinner.  It was SO MUCH FOOD, and each one of us took food home with us.  On the way out, we ran into Wayne and Sharon Dent, and I recommended the turkey dinner to them.  I walked with Marlene over to the bank where I had parked.  She has a new car!!!  She said there is a story connected with her getting it.  When I got home, I immediately got into warm pajamas since it is so damp and cold outside.  I put a podcast by Victor Davis Hanson on SPOTIFY on tv and laid down on the couch and dozed off for a while.  I rested
